Gou's Liver Experience in the World of Demons and Demons

"Senior Situ, he..."

Gu Sheng frowned as he looked at Situ Qingfeng, who was staring blankly at the screen.

"His condition seems..."

"very bad."

Xia Fuqu's voice was filled with sorrow.

"Back then, in order to cover our retreat, he forcibly activated a secret technique, overdrawing his own power and damaging his very foundation. Although he was sealed here in time, his soul was severely damaged and he fell into a deep slumber."

For a thousand years, the Heavenly Essence Elixir had preserved his life and the foundation of his cultivation, but it had never been able to awaken his consciousness. Moreover…

She paused, her tone becoming even more serious.

“Over the past century, we have discovered that the efficacy of the Heavenly Marrow Elixir seems to be slowly diminishing, and its nourishing effect is not as good as before. This is why we are eager to find a way to awaken it.”

Gu Sheng's gaze once again fell upon the viscous, bluish-gold liquid within the light screen.

With his keen eyesight, he could clearly sense that although the liquid still contained immense energy, the purest and most essential life essence within it was much thinner, far less miraculous than Xia Fuqu had described.

"How do I activate this light screen?"

Gu Sheng asked in a deep voice. "The most urgent task is to bring Situ Qingfeng out first."

Xia Fuqu looked at Xiao Mengling.

"Miss Mengling, we need to work together."

Xiao Mengling nodded silently, then walked to the light screen with the bamboo slip in her arms.

Xia Fuqu stood beside her, her hands forming a hand seal, and a pure and powerful surge of true energy emanated from her body.

Xiao Mengling closed her eyes again and began to softly chant the ancient and obscure syllables.

The bamboo scroll in his arms floated up again, emitting a soft light.

At the same time, Xia Fuqu continuously poured her true essence into the bamboo slip, guiding the light of the bamboo slip to resonate with the runes on the light screen.

The cyan-green light curtain began to fluctuate violently! The runes on its surface shifted and rearranged!
A narrow gap, just wide enough for one person to pass through, slowly cracked open in the center of the light screen!

"Sect Master Gu! Quickly!"

Xia Fuqu let out a low shout, beads of sweat already appearing on her forehead, clearly indicating that maintaining this passage was not easy.

Without the slightest hesitation, Gu Sheng flashed through the crack and entered the light curtain!

Upon entering the light curtain, an indescribable stickiness and immense pressure instantly surged from all directions!

The cyan-gold Heavenly Essence Liquid frantically squeezed and permeated towards him!
At the same time, an extremely pure energy surged into his body through his pores, invigorating him!
But Gu Sheng had no time to appreciate the nourishment of this energy; his gaze immediately locked onto Situ Qingfeng on the jade platform.

He channeled his true energy, resisting the immense pressure of the spiritual liquid, and swam rapidly toward the platform.

The closer Gu Sheng got to the platform, the stronger his sense of regret became.

He clearly sensed that although the Heavenly Essence Liquid around him was still full of energy, its core power, which could nourish and repair the origin of the soul, had been completely lost!

The remaining components are mostly for maintaining physical vitality and providing energy. No wonder Situ Qingfeng has been in a slumber for a thousand years, his consciousness still unable to awaken!

He quickly swam to the jade platform. Upon closer inspection, Situ Qingfeng's face became clearer, and his blank expression was heartbreaking.

Gu Sheng reached out and carefully touched the pale gold rune chains wrapped around Situ Qingfeng.

The chains were cold and sturdy, tightly connected to the entire sealing array.

"Senior, please forgive me."

Gu Sheng whispered something, then circulated his true energy to envelop Situ Qingfeng's body, attempting to take him away from the platform.

The runic chains remained completely still!
Just as Gu Sheng was preparing to increase his strength and attempt to forcibly break free of the chains—

Outside the light screen, Xia Fuqu, who had been focused on maintaining the passage, suddenly changed her expression!
She suddenly looked up, her sharp gaze sweeping in the direction the crowd had come from, and shouted sternly.

"Watch out! Someone's there!"

Almost at the same time she spoke, Bai Yu and Bai Zhi reacted instantly!

Bai Yu stepped forward, shielding his sister behind him, and unleashed a powerful surge of spiritual energy, creating a solid spiritual barrier around everyone!
Although Bai Zhi was weak, she still forced herself to use her spiritual power to help her brother strengthen the barrier!

Xiao Mengling also stopped chanting, tightly embracing the floating bamboo slip with both hands. Light flowed over the bamboo slip, radiating a protective power!

A flippant and mocking male voice suddenly rang in everyone's ears, clearly entering their minds:

"Tsk tsk tsk, your reaction is not slow. Unfortunately... in front of me, it's nothing but a futile struggle."

As the sound rang out, a chilling, sinister, and terrifying pressure filled with endless malice instantly swept across the entire space!

The mental barrier that Bai Yu and Bai Zhi had jointly erected trembled violently under the impact of this pressure, groaning as if it could not bear the weight!
The moment that flippant and malicious voice rang out, a chilling, eerie, and terrifying pressure suddenly descended!

Baiyu and Baizhi were the first to be affected!
The brother and sister were struck as if by a heavy hammer, their bodies trembled violently, and they spat out a mouthful of blood!

The blood was tinged with an eerie black aura!
Their faces instantly turned ashen, their auras rapidly weakened, and their life force seemed to be devoured by invisible poisonous insects, quickly slipping away!
A chilling, malevolent aura, like a maggot clinging to their bones, frantically eroded their meridians and souls!

"Xiao Beixuan!"

Xia Fuqu recognized the person who had arrived, her pupils suddenly contracted, and her voice was filled with deep hatred and shock!

The newcomer was dressed in a long black robe, with a sinister face, eyes like a venomous snake, and a mocking and cruel smile on his lips. It was none other than Xiao Beixuan!
But the aura he exuded at this moment was far colder, deeper, and more terrifying than when he was in the Boundless Sect!
Clearly, the power of the Styx Venerable within him has been revived even more!
"Tsk tsk, Junior Sister Xia, it's been so many years, and you're still so... out of touch with reality."

Xiao Beixuan gave a cold smile, his gaze sweeping over the heavily injured Bai Yu siblings as if they were two ants.

He didn't even make a special move; he just casually waved his sleeve!

An invisible, immense force suddenly erupted!

The severely injured Bai Yu and Bai Zhi were powerless to resist and were once again violently knocked away, crashing heavily into the distant mountain wall. Rock fragments flew everywhere, and they completely lost consciousness, their fate unknown!
"White jade! Angelica dahurica!"

Xia Fuqu's eyes widened in fury! But she suppressed the urge to rush forward, because she saw Xiao Beixuan's gaze sweeping across the slowly shrinking gap in the green light screen with a half-smile! "Junior Sister Xia, I advise you not to move."

Xiao Beixuan's voice carried a teasing tone, like a cat playing with a mouse.

"Look, that passage is almost closing. It seems that Pavilion Master Gu inside hasn't come out yet? If the passage is interrupted, this 'Heavenly Marrow Sealing Array' will close again..."

"Tsk tsk, even a Heavenly King Realm expert trapped inside probably wouldn't last long, right? Do you want him... to be buried with Situ Qingfeng?"

Xia Fuqu's body stiffened abruptly!
She stared intently at the ever-narrowing gap in the light screen, then looked at Gu Sheng's figure, who was faintly visible inside the screen, struggling to swim towards the jade platform. Her expression turned extremely grim.

Xiao Beixuan's words struck a nerve!
She couldn't disregard Gu Sheng's safety!
Just as Xia Fuqu was stunned by Xiao Beixuan's words and her mind was shaken—

Inside the spirit liquid pool, Gu Sheng naturally heard the commotion outside and felt the terrifying evil energy and pressure!
A chill ran through him as he instantly understood the situation outside! Xiao Beixuan had arrived! And his strength far exceeded his expectations!

He glanced at Situ Qingfeng, who was standing close by, looking dazed, then at the closing gap outside the light screen. Almost without hesitation, his eyes flashed with determination!

Save Situ Qingfeng! We must save him! Otherwise, this trip will be meaningless!

As for the way out... Gu Sheng's eyes sharpened, and his true essence circulated wildly within his body, resisting the increasingly viscous and heavy pressure of the spiritual liquid. His speed did not decrease but increased, and he rushed towards the jade platform!

He trusted Xia Fuqu, and he trusted his own judgment! A way out is always something you forge yourself!

Outside the light screen, Xiao Beixuan saw that Gu Sheng not only did not panic and try to rush out of the light screen, but instead accelerated towards Situ Qingfeng. His eyes were filled with surprise, which then turned into cold killing intent.

"Hmph! You're not afraid of death! In that case, I'll deal with you first!"

He ignored Gu Sheng inside the light screen, fixing his gaze on Xia Fuqu and Xiao Mengling, a cruel smile curving his lips.

"Junior Sister Xia, and this... little girl from the Myriad Spirits Palace? They'll all stay here today!"

Before he finished speaking, he vanished from the spot in a flash!
The next instant, a sharp claw covered in jet-black scales and swirling with a dense evil aura appeared in front of Xia Fuqu with a shrill whistle that tore through space!

"Mengling! Retreat!"

Xia Fuqu shouted sharply, her eyes flashing with determination!

She was already poised to strike, and instead of retreating, she advanced in the face of this fatal blow!

His hands instantly formed a hand seal, and a vast and pure true essence mixed with powerful spiritual energy erupted!

A golden shield of light, swirling with mysterious runes, materialized in front of her!
The malevolent claws slammed into the golden light shield! A piercing scraping sound and an energy explosion rang out simultaneously!
The golden light shield trembled violently, its surface runes flashing wildly, groaning as if it could not bear the weight!
Xia Fuqu let out a muffled groan, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of her mouth, her body being jolted backward!

But she successfully blocked the attack! This bought Xiao Mengling precious time to retreat!

Xiao Mengling reacted extremely quickly. The moment Xia Fuqu spoke, she grabbed the bamboo slip and retreated rapidly without hesitation!

At the same time, her clear eyes were filled with anxiety as she suddenly looked at the figure inside the light screen that was about to be completely isolated by the closing light screen!
She bit her lower lip tightly, her eyes filled with determination!

She suddenly tossed the bamboo scroll in her arms high into the air! The scroll unfurled in mid-air, emitting a soft glow!
Xiao Mengling quickly formed hand seals, forcing out a drop of essence blood from her fingertips and placing it on the bamboo slip!

The bamboo slips shone brightly!

A character formed from pure true energy pierced through the remaining gap in the light barrier and shot precisely towards Gu Sheng in the pool of spiritual liquid!
The true qi characters instantly entered Gu Sheng's sea of ​​consciousness, transforming into clear information.

"Sect Master Gu! The light barrier is about to close! You must rescue Senior Situ! We will find a way to get you out of this predicament! If your master needs to intervene, the engagement... can be nullified! This light will help you!"

As the information was transmitted, the last bit of light on the bamboo slip suddenly lit up, turning into a thin stream of light that followed the true qi characters, shot into the gap in the light screen, and merged into Gu Sheng's body!

Gu Sheng felt his body lighten, and the pressure of the viscous and heavy spiritual liquid around him instantly lessened considerably!
Xiao Mengling's last ray of light temporarily granted him some ability to resist the resistance of the spiritual liquid!

At this moment, the turquoise light curtain finally closed completely! The gaps vanished without a trace! Completely isolating the inside from the outside!
Inside the light screen, Gu Sheng used the power of the light to increase his speed dramatically, and instantly rushed to the jade platform!
He landed in front of Situ Qingfeng, looked at this senior who was firmly bound by light gold rune chains and had a blank expression, and reached out his hand, preparing to try to break the chains!
Just as his fingers were about to touch Situ Qingfeng's body—

A light, melodious, yet cold and aloof female voice suddenly rang in Gu Sheng's ears and clearly entered his mind:

"Stop! There is a 'Soul-Sealing Restriction' on the stone platform! If you touch it, your own soul will be instantly locked by this restriction and trapped in this pool of spiritual liquid, never to escape!"

That cold, distant warning sounded like thunder, exploding in Gu Sheng's mind!

His outstretched hand suddenly stopped in mid-air, his fingertips barely an inch away from Situ Qingfeng's body!
An invisible chill spread up his fingertips, making his very soul tremble!
He suddenly turned his head, his gaze sharp as lightning, sweeping towards the source of the sound!
Not far from him, the viscous Heavenly Marrow Spirit Liquid seemed to be separated by an invisible force, and a petite figure slowly emerged.

She was a little girl who looked only twelve or thirteen years old.

She wore a gorgeous, almost dreamlike, seven-colored gauze dress, the hem of which swayed gently in the spiritual liquid.

She was barefoot, floating in the spiritual liquid.

Her small face was as delicate as a jade carving, her skin was so smooth and flawless, and beneath her long eyelashes were a pair of clear eyes that seemed to hold endless stars.

At this moment, those eyes were looking at Gu Sheng quietly, filled with curiosity and scrutiny.

Gu Sheng's pupils contracted slightly! This little girl... when did she appear? With his soul perception, he hadn't noticed her at all!

The little girl seemed to see through Gu Sheng's thoughts. Her pink lips curled up slightly, revealing a smile that was incongruous with her age, carrying a hint of playfulness and vicissitude.

Her voice was clear and melodious, yet it possessed a strange penetrating power, directly entering Gu Sheng's mind:
"No need to look anymore. I've always been by your side, it's just that you... couldn't see me before."

She tilted her head, her eyes gleaming with mischief.

"Or, to be more precise, 'we' have always been by your side."

"'us'?"

Gu Sheng frowned, a sense of foreboding rising in his heart!
The little girl's aura was extremely strange; she seemed pure and flawless, yet she also exuded an indescribable depth and antiquity.

"Ah."

The little girl nodded, her voice still clear and crisp, but her tone had become complicated.

"I am her and I am also her."

She stretched out her fair fingers, first pointing to her heart, and then to Gu Sheng.

“I am the ‘spiritual embryo’ that you nurtured with your essence and soul and was eventually born. I am also the one who was forcibly awakened by the great cauldron in your body and bound by your soul blood pact… Miao Muqing.”

Gu Sheng was utterly shocked! A spiritual embryo! Miao Muqing! (End of Chapter)
